if your still dealing with baby acne try this...

of course you should get a thumbs up from your pediatritian first, but hydrocorizone (sp?) cleared up my baby's baby acne within 3 days. It was all gone by Christmas! It was reccomended by my pedi and I bought it at walmart in the pharmacy section. I dont know if anyone is still dealing with this since our babies are getting older now, I know I would still be dealing with it if I hadnt tried the hydrocortizone.

Another option that I read about from someone on here is to use some breastmilk! I tried it and it cleared up Kate's skin by the next day. Gosh I love breastmilk...so many awesome uses.

@partyofsix6 really?!? ALL over her face?? i never heard of that hm? i use California Baby Calendula Cream and it is a miracle in a bottle. awesome for cradle cap too and its all natural. glad she is all cleared up!

@partyofsix6 That stuff does work wonders. We're currently using it and aquaphor to clear up an infant rash our son has and it's worked great.

@AliKatsMom Oooh I'm gonna try that for my lo! I don't like the idea of putting anything unnatural on her face as she is only 5weeks old, so breastmilk may be worth a shot :D

@partyofsix6 I used it, by perscription, but as soon as I stopped it came back. I was told not to use it for over a week because it thins their skin. We are currently using cetaphil lotion and California baby calendula creme and a humidifier at night and her skin looks great with no scary steroids.

@mssarah2010 both target and babies r us carry it..its AMAZING!!! clears them up in a couple of days.

@LuckyMom2Boys2Girls I think the breast milk working may have been a fluke cuz her pimples have come back. I'm going to try that calendula (sp?) cream. I wish I'd known about that with my first DD! I've got a month's worth of pics of her where she looks like a baby teenager! lol
